I've put my in's in white from my GB, that way no one who hasn't had it yet has to look

Mememe beat the blues varnish in pearl pink

tresemme instant refresh cleansing dry shampoo

MONU spa massage and body oil

I got other items but i won't use them so not bothering including them, off to the Xmas pic'n'mix box they go

I've just placed an order with MUA so i'm staying on the naughty step for a while but i don't get paid for another week and i'm skint so that's the last of my funds gone.

2 INS from BFs parents as a (very) belated birthday present - shower gel and body butter and face cloth (still with a T8sco 25p RTC sticker on it!?) :cool:
hmmm
the sun is shining so away to make the most of it

sorry had to smile it is very MSE of them but id be tempted to leave it in the bathroom on show complete with label next time they visit.

no UUs to declare here
but ive had to start using a tube of heal cream from my stash as ive got another really sore deep crack opened up in my heel. also noticed that one of my toenails has got a split all the way down the middle i do look after my feet reasonably well so cant understand why i keep getting problems like this

Mrs. M, I would try Keratin supplements for nails. Dr. Scholl's Heel cream does the job for me but I have to put it on every day, cracks seem to be appearing more in the summer....when everybody can see them ;(

I agree with Mrs MP, very MSE but I think I would have bought other things to go with it and I would have made sure I removed the price. I know what I would spend on them when the time came round though.

You are right, socks and boots keep your feet in better nick than sandals and bare feet.

Well I had an interesting conversation with the manager at the tyre place, seems he has no idea what he's talking about either and kept changing his mind about tyre types and what they meant throughout the conversation! Talk about a load of bullcr*p! Ingus (learnt the Latvian guy's name!) did tell me a lot of the people working there didn't really know what they were talking about and it seems he was right, at least about the bloke from last week and the manager from today!

Just to clarify, for anyone who is interested, I have posted a guide up....

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/65256032#Comment_65256032

Manager said he would argue there's no such thing as summer tyres as people don't put certain tyres on for just the summer (!!) erm, it's a tyre TYPE you idiot! If you go on any tyre place, they have summer tyres listed!!

Basically the bloke said he didn't want to risk upsetting me (I'm not upset, I'm hacked off tyvm!), so he'll do whatever I want to put it right, so I said ok, take the 4 summer tyres off and put my two old ones on the back and replace the front ones with all-season ones to match the back! Oh and my £132 back for the tyres I never needed for the back thanks!

SO exasperating!! In 17 years of driving I've never had to go through so much hassle with regard to tyres! After this it's back to Kwik-Fit all the way!! Going to be writing one hell of a letter to the head office once it's sorted! Can't wait to have decent tyres on my car again, I've noticed a HUGE difference in handling with these summer tyres (car doesn't pull away as nicely as it did) so I'll never change from all-season from now on!

Excuse the rant, hope everyone's ok? More on-topic, I've tried out my QVC No-No for the first time today, need more practice to get the gliding speed right but I'm impressed so far!

mrs-moneypenny

glad you sem to have got some satisfaction in that they do seem to be giving you your money back and putting right what they did wrong. but what a nightmare i can understand why you are so hacked off. definately a letter needs sending to Head Office. i would be naming names of bad staff as well as praising the one who seemed to know what he was talking about and was helpful (just be careful you dont drop him in it) but he shouldnt be carpeted with the other two ejuts if HO do do anything

thanks for the advice re feet and nails

2 outs from the weekend
- Garnier face wash, just their essentials one, have bought dozens of these over the years but avoiding foaming cleansers for now
- Beauticology Strawberry Body Creme. Nice in the shower, lathers really well but scent doesn't stay. Used the last of it as shower gel to get rid. Got another of these in the stash.

Hugs to all of you that need them.

Hope you enjoy your break Fizzwhizz - we are visiting DH next Friday near is current place of work in Wolverhampton. We plan on visiting Dudley Zoo and perhaps Cadburys World, we are also staying near MerryHill shopping centre so there may be ins to declare on my return (if we have any money left after our essential visit to the build a bear workshop).

Hope you have fun restocking your new helmer Maddiemay - the A england I applied on Tuesday evening lasted to its removal this evening with no chips and only minimal tip wear hope you have as much success with your new ones.

Helmer due next week:j No doubt I will be filling and emptying it several times while I decide what will live where. Not tried my New A Englands yet, just Nail Envy on them ATM and need to do toes ASAP. My nails have been really flaking at the tips, so no NP seems to have lasted me more than 2 days max, but someone on another thread recommended Mavala Scientifique, I have been using it every 3 days or so for less than 2 weeks and they are so much better, really pleased.

I bought my first Helmer today, got the cream one and left the wheels off, i'm replacing my old plastic draws that hold my make up with this, i couldn't use it for my lotions and potions are the draws aren't deep enough but hoping to find one bigger for those, thank you to who ever mentioned it in March's posts x

Enjoy your Helmer:D, I hope that you find something suitable for your lotions and potions. My skincare, hand creams, body lotions and bath and shower gels are spread over about 5 different places, so that I can keep track of the age of things etc (vast majority of my stash is now items that have been gifted to me) and I am so looking forward to only having 2 or 3 of each type of product, but it will be a long time before that happens as I do not seem to use things up very quickly, mostly high end products left now and although expensive to buy, they are really economical on the whole:money:

One more UU,

Dream cream from Lush. WNBA, don't like the smell of lavender.

Oh, and I believe I've had IN arrive in the post this morning, Biore Sunscreen. Needed though, I'll shortly run out of my current SPF and this one came from China I believe, so I needed to order it well in advance!
